    • Most Londoners I spoke to had been to the Isle of Wight - not recently, but in a school trip as a child. And the Needles is one of the few things they remembered. It's basically a series of rocks rising above the sea at the western tip of the island. As seen in photo, the last rock has a structure that seems like a helicopter landing platform. When I visited, the Battery (the old military facility surrounding the Needles) was shut so I didn't get a close-up view. The photo was taken from the nearby hiking trail, where I started crossing the beautiful Tennyson Down.

     Nice opening photo!! I can't believe you managed a DAY trip to IOW from London though... not even an overnight stay? I'd like to revisit the Isle one day, perhaps :) Hope you make it back there too! m.x    		lou31 Thu Jun 22, 2006 04:48 UTC
     Planning on visiting the IOW. Loved this page. The pics were great and the tips helpful. Thanks...

     Haha, I wonder why Londoners refuse to admit that they havebeen here as an adult. Maybe they are scared of the mysterious beasties of Black Gang Chine :-)    		jo104 Thu Apr 6, 2006 09:17 UTC
     Nice pics full of colour & atmosphere - I have yet to get there
